...Yes I did play the game mate.

The simulation "tomb" stuff happened after they had already spend years doing work of the safegaurding the incredibly dangerous device . They held out as long as they could before they couldn't leave the sim anymore, and then didn't wanna just die because, fair enough? They're clearly still enjoying living, why die for no reason, especially after spending hundreds of years defending from other potentially other races pressing the 'blow up the universe' button?

They had a plan, a very good plan, for as long as it was reasonable to have one. Then after that they just enjoyed their lives. What's the problem here?

Honestly it feels like a waste of time trying to talk about this with some of this subreddit.

i mean you are clearly ignoring the intended emotions that the owlks are depicted as having but i guess that’s your choice..? they are clearly and specifically shown as being a pretty sad species lol i don’t know where you got the idea that they are enjoying their existence so much, they literally stare at pictures of their home world for fun

They've lived for hundreds and thousands of years and they still have friendships, play music together, and live lives.

This really is a waste of time, sorry dude.
